Vegetarian, vegan and allergen tags
Questi contenuti non sono ancora disponibili nella tua lingua.
Guests reading your online menu can filter it — show only vegetarian dishes, or hide anything with shellfish. This page explains where those tags come from and why a dish sometimes has none.
The rule
A dish is only tagged when something says it is vegetarian. Never because nothing said it wasn’t.
How it works
- When you add or edit a dish, the system reads its name and description and works out what’s in it.
- From that it tries to tag the dish: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, dairy-free.
- It then double-checks the tag against the ingredients. If the dish says “vegetarian” but the description mentions prosciutto, the tag is removed.
- Separately, it records which allergens the dish contains — gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, soy, alcohol — so a guest can hide them.
- Anything you type yourself in the dish’s own dietary and allergen fields always counts, and is used alongside this.
Good to know
- A dish with no description usually gets no tag. “Pepperoni Pizza” on its own is a name, not evidence. Write a description and the tags appear.
- No tag means “we don’t know”, not “no”. An untagged dish just won’t show under a filter. It is never wrongly labelled as safe.
- The checks lean cautious. Almond flour is treated as a gluten risk even though it isn’t one. Losing a dish from a filter is better than a guest eating something they avoid.
- Your own tags win. Whatever you enter by hand is always shown and always used.
- These tags help guests browse. They are not a substitute for your staff answering an allergy question in person.
